shameful_a shift_n as_o thou_o have_v partly_o see_v already_o and_o shall_v further_o see_v by_o that_o which_o ensue_v 2._o the_o first_o point_n which_o i_o reprove_v in_o m._n barlow_n be_v his_o common_a custom_n to_o change_v the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n primacy_n and_o so_o to_o answer_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n which_o be_v no_o less_o frequent_a and_o ordinary_a in_o m._n andrews_n as_o for_o example_n whereas_o the_o true_a state_n of_o the_o controversy_n betwixt_o we_o and_o they_o concern_v the_o primacy_n of_o the_o pope_n be_v whether_o he_o be_v supreme_a head_n of_o the_o church_n in_o all_o spiritual_a and_o ecclesiastical_a cause_n and_o may_v in_o some_o case_n extend_v his_o power_n to_o temporal_a thing_n that_o be_v to_o say_v whether_o be_v the_o supreme_a spiritual_a pastor_n he_o may_v for_o the_o public_a benefit_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o good_a of_o soul_n punish_v his_o disobedient_a child_n namely_o temporal_a prince_n in_o their_o temporal_a seq_n state_n which_o i_o have_v show_v in_o my_o supplement_n to_o be_v a_o necessary_a consequent_a of_o his_o supreme_a spiritual_a power_n m._n andrews_n will_v needs_o make_v we_o hold_v and_o teach_v that_o the_o pope_n primacy_n be_v a_o temporal_a primacy_n in_o which_o respect_n he_o 4._o call_v our_o doctrine_n and_o belief_n touch_v that_o point_n illustrem_fw-la fidei_fw-la articulum_fw-la de_fw-la primatu_fw-la petri_n temporali_fw-la the_o notable_a article_n of_o faith_n concern_v the_o temporal_a primacy_n of_o peter_n and_o as_o you_o hear_v 21._o before_o distinguish_v the_o name_n of_o peter_n primacy_n which_o he_o grant_v from_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o that_o name_n which_o he_o deny_v he_o term_v it_o 1._o terrestrem_fw-la monarchiam_fw-la a_o earthly_a monarchy_n and_o therefore_o he_o urge_v the_o cardinal_n to_o prove_v this_o temporal_a primacy_n and_o earthly_a monarchy_n and_o so_o impugn_v no_o opinion_n of_o we_o nor_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o his_o own_o fond_a fiction_n as_o i_o have_v show_v 22._o before_o and_o more_o ample_o in_o the_o 2d_o first_o chapter_n of_o this_o adjoinder_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o stand_v any_o long_o upon_o this_o point_n here_o but_o will_v pass_v to_o another_o 3._o among_o other_o question_n much_o controverse_v concern_v good_a work_n supererogation_n one_o be_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o work_n of_o supererogation_n which_o the_o catholyk_n understand_v to_o be_v such_o as_o be_v lawful_a and_o good_a of_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v not_o command_v by_o any_o precept_n as_o for_o example_n the_o evangelicall_a counsel_n in_o which_o sense_n cardinal_n bellarmine_n and_o all_o other_o catholic_n do_v use_v the_o word_n supererogation_n as_o signify_v a_o work_n do_v supra_fw-la praeceptum_fw-la that_o be_v to_o say_v more_o than_o the_o precept_n command_v but_o m._n andrew_n impugn_v it_o in_o another_o

all_o the_o precept_n whereupon_o he_o also_o infer_v that_o no_o man_n can_v do_v any_o such_o work_n no_o not_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o because_o they_o can_v not_o fulfil_v the_o commandment_n have_v always_o occasion_n to_o to_o say_v dimitte_n nobis_fw-la debita_fw-la nostra_fw-la forgive_v we_o lord_n our_o offence_n 4._o wherein_o m._n andrews_n express_o impugn_v not_o so_o much_o
